This brass image shows eight-armed Durga riding a lion, subduing the anthropomorphic form of the buffalo demon 'Mahishasura'. This avatar of Durga is worshipped during the Indian festival of Navaratri. The iconography associated with the weapons she wields in her hands indicates the heroic, ferocious yet just nature of the goddess Durga. Her ornaments and the drape of her sari is similar to that worn by women in the Deccan and her diagonal poise lends dynamism to the image.
